Rating from 4 ReviewsMy experience with them was rather favorableChisani, South Africa, 05 May 17

“Having to go for any medical procedure can be a bad experience with the wrong institution, fortunately, when you are exposed to quality service as I was when I went to Vive Cosmetic Surgery, you do not need to have such concerns. My experience with them was rather favorable. Their treatment was very good. The clinic was extremely clean, they charged me accordingly and the staff was very friendly and accommodative.

Rating from 36 ReviewsI’m 80% happy with the results so farLindani, South Africa, 16 Nov 17

I had gynecomastia surgery at Dr Susan F Johnson’s Clinic. After reading several promising reviews online, I decided to have the procedure done with this doctor. The clinic is very fancy and ultra-modern, while the staff was friendly and ready to answer any of my questions. The receptionist was nice, and I felt like I was in the hands of a very capable doctor. I had quite a few follow-up appointments and it took me about 6 weeks to heal. I’m 80% happy with the results so far.

Rating from 5 ReviewsAll services and duties were performed to extra-ordinary levelsUrsula, South Africa, 09 May 17

I certainly got more than my money’s worth while visiting the clinic. All services and duties were performed to extra-ordinary levels. Everything went together rather well, from the appearance, to staff treatment and of course the price. The clinic is great value for money because it provides good service and treatment at a price that is far better than the competitions. Overall a really good experience.

Very explanatory on all the options and requirements. Slightly painful but very calming and confident. Payments are measured per unit applied which is the correct method of this treatment. I wouldn't go anywhere else for treatment where they might claim to be able to do this treatment, I only trust to do it at a qualified cosmetic surgeon.
Breast augmentation - only consultation so far - will definitely be proceeding with this doctor shortly.
Labiaplasty - only consultation so far - will also be proceeding with this doctor shortly. Very informative and understanding towards each individuals needs. Takes the time to listen and give all the feedback you require to make an informed decision according to your specifications. Very friendly and calming.

After 4 consultations with plastic surgeons around Durban, I decided to do my abdominoplasty, thigh lift and liposuction with Dr Singh. I have received the best pre and post-operative care with Dr O'Sharran Singh. I am currently 1-week post op and recovering wonderfully. The doctor's skill is excellent. My tummy looks brilliant and despite the swelling, I'm loving my results. I did spend a lot of money on consults with various other surgeons but inevitably my choice proved to be the best. Very satisfied with the whole experience and support of Dr 'O Sharan R Singh.

Rating from 7 ReviewsI will definitely go back again if I need anything else doneTinette, Cape Town, 12 Dec 17

I decided to have a breast reduction surgery done at this clinic. Dr David replied within twenty minutes after I’d made the inquiry, and he was the only one who was prepared to do exactly what I asked. The operation was definitely worth the money, and I ended up paying R29 000 which was the same price I found on the website. One thing I really valued throughout this whole experience, was Dr David’s honesty. If he felt something would not work, he was upfront about it. I told him I’d love to be one cup size smaller, and I had a lipo reduction, rather than a full operation. He gave me the best possible advice beforehand and made sure that I knew what all my options were and what the various packages included. The staff are all super friendly and the doctor’s response rate is good. There was an error with the bill, and the clinic almost charged me twice - all it took was one email to the doctor to have this cleared up. I would recommend this surgery to anyone who’s thinking of getting a breast reduction. I will definitely go back again if I need anything else done in the future.

Rating from 2 ReviewsThe service was incredibleMarc, South Africa, 20 Apr 17

My son recently injured his face whilst ice-skating. Dr Dumas was incredibly patient and assisted us through the whole process. His work was exemplary and my son is well on his way to an awesome recovery. This man is very talented, cares for his patients and goes the extra mile in every way possible. Five Stars for your excellent attention to detail and exemplary work ethic. You are amazing. Dr Dumas's Clinic is immaculate and his assistants are very helpful and caring. They went out of their way to assist with all the problems and issues I had. It is not every day that you are faced with unfortunate, life-changing events so when you find yourself in a situation outside of the norm.... It is awesome to find people that are helpful, caring and patient to help you achieve the best results possible.....Five Stars Guys

Rating from 2 ReviewsPefore I could think what I needed to do next, it was done for meBonny, South Africa, 27 Oct 17

I really wanted to look younger in a natural way. It took me a while to make the decision to have a facelift but in Dr. Dower's hands, I got the result I could have only dreamt of. I look myself, just 20 years younger. It has given me a renewed energy and excitement for life. He is a brilliant surgeon and I really recommend him to any woman who wants to turn back the clock without looking like you've been operated on. Very professional - before I could think what I needed to do next, it was done for me. Lots of good preparation and helped me to feel relaxed and know I would be well taken care of. The nursing staff were extremely kind and supportive.

Rating from 2 ReviewsHealing well after two weeksBev, Cape Town, 18 Sep 15

Blepharoplasty two weeks ago. Booked in on Monday morning at 8.30 and was in theatre by 9. The whole experience was seamless and professional and not at all painful.
Dr Meintjes is wonderful. He keeps his patient informed throughout and at no time did I ever feel apprehensive or insecure.
Two weeks later, I have healed well, and I have a follow up visit after a month. So far, so good. What an awesome clinic with fun friendly professional staff and a fantastic environment.
The clinic is easily accessible. You don't have to fight traffic or hunt for parking.
It's a converted large Victorian house with all the olde worlde charm but modern medical facilities.
The staff make you feel at home and at ease immediately and the surgeon, Dr Meintjes is approachable, friendly and extremely thorough.

Gynecomastia

Breast Reduction

This remains a most pleasing and satisfying surgical procedure. Modern techniques are directed at minimising scarring and more attention is paid to post-operative scar management.
Ideal patients are close to optimal body weight and non-smokers.
The procedure may affect breastfeeding ability and nipple sensation and these factors are thoroughly discussed in consultation.

Excellent service from consultation right up to surgery. Not to mention the after treatment superb. Very friendly staff and assistants always ready to provide both their service and advice. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Excellent service and attention to detail. Never alone or left unattended. Very clean environment and the food provided very healthy and of high standard. The only down side is the cost. It is very expensive indeed, but good. Good things of course cost a lot of money and are usually worth it
